Harrison, Lennon and McCartney all used Vox Super Beatle heands & cabs during their 64, 65 & 66 concerts which is well documented.
There was also a Vox Mando-Guitar V257 (a mandolin-sized 12-string guitar); a Fender Bass VI (a six-string bass he played on "Hey Jude"), and a Burns Nu-Sonic bass, reportedly played on the "Paperback Writer" session.
Used for the guitar on The Beatles, as mentioned by sound engineer Ken Scott in this June 2012 Sound on Sound interview.
"In addition to Paul's bass being DI'd, the cabinet probably would have been miked with a 4038, [Neumann] U67 or [AKG] C12. I would have used two 4038s on the organ, 67s on John and George's guitars, and it could have been anything on George's vocal.”
The U67 was also used on Let It Be, as mentioned by sound engineer Alan Parsons in this March 9, 2012 Premier Guitar interview.
I remember on Let It Be, Glyn Johns used a [Neumann] U 67 on George’s cabinet. I think Geoff Emerick favored the AKG D19 [on Abbey Road].

"In 1971 George Harrison and Ravi Shankar held their famous Concert for Bangladesh at New York’s Madison Square Garden.
